His next story will be "red wings dont deserve to be on the same golf course as the hawks"

Hmmm, this thread got me thinking... what if fans threw an octopus onto the ice after the Red Wings had iced the puck and clearly needed a break?  What would the referees do if it was obviously a ploy to rest the players?
 
I remember how many times the NBC commentator would credit a player with a "wily veteran move" to buy his linemates some extra time... wonder if they'd give the same credit to fans.  
 
ETA: I know that there's a provision that allows the referee to assess a delay of game penalty to the home team if fans obviously are interfering, but I don't remember ever seeing that happen.  I'm curious how it would be handled.

I think if people start doing things like that, they'll start cracking down on 'pi throwing and it will ruin the fun for us all

I don't know if anyone is actually using this for their Facebook timeline cover or not, but I'll just continue to keep updating it as we move forward...

I am! Keep me coming

Well actually he called me "kissazz" so let's not get into technicalities. Me calling him a kid isn't really an attack.


Links not working

I didn't notice that. Perhaps it was a mistake?  Either way, the childish behavior gets old fast. How about you both agree to disagree.

Bill Clement said it was the right call. If Bill Clement says its the right call, its the right call. You can't argue with Bill Clement.

It may be homerism, but the more I watch that disallowed goal, the more I agree with it. He didn't touch Howard, but Howard has no way to be in the right position to make that save. If his crease was open, he would have come out to cut the angle off on that shot. Good call.

It will be tough trying to explain that to my Hawks fan friends though...

Both teams were gifted calls tonight. Way to create controversies refs!

Maybe something about Chicago's devoted fanbase

Or a big picture of toews getting manhandled by Zetterberg

Just give us 3 more games like today Wings...

Or 11

This rule seems to be getting a lot of attention and scrutiny lately. I want to know what you guys think of it.

I understand why the rule was put in place, but it's deciding way too many games. I think they should treat it like an icing and not let the guilty team change lines.

Thoughts?

this thread has now killed any legitimate attempt for rational fans to be displeased with smiths poor play.
 
roughly everyone that has been on smiths case lately does NOT want him traded. most people just want him sat so he can learn a lesson and stop hurting the team with boneheaded plays.
 
however, now everyone on the smith bandwagon will instantly turn to this thread and make the generalization that anyone that critiques smith is a moron.
 
let me say this though, he made at least half a dozen mistakes in these first 2 games that are worthy of a weeks worth of bag skates. scoring a goal from 10 feet away into a wide open net thanks to the strong play of linemates does NOT redeem someone from all those mistakes. additionally, smith has been bad in his own end all year .
 
many of you keep saying how absurd it is to rag on smith because hes a rookie. however you are all just as guilty of lumping anyone that is down on smith as the irrational reactionary type of fan when many of us have legitimate gripes about his play.

I don't think that's true, since not a single person has agreed with the OP.

I agree that smith hasn't played well, but he'll never be good in the playoffs if he isn't exposed to it. He improved a ton from game 1 to game 2, which is good. Babcock just needs to stick with him and he'll come around

I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you jerked your knee like that

Crawford is actually vastly underrated. Imo he's a top 3 goalie in the league, probably a top 5 goalie in the league of the past 20 years. Chicago's a decent team but without him they'd have a lottery pick this season. How he wasn't nominated for the Vezina AND Hart trophies is crazy. 
 
I actually think Detroit could win this series if Chicago had a human being in net and not that space alien born on planet SHUTOUT. 

I guess I'm the only one here who knows your post has an ulterior motive
Shutout

That should cover it for the rest of the series

They poked the bear. They shouldn't have poked the bear.
I really hope the players saw this

Hawks Team = I have to no issue
 
Hawks Fans = They are delusional

Hawks announcers = annoying as hell
